I like the idea to organize the "bug days" because:
1) people are focused on the same problem, so helping each other is easier.
2) people feels that their work has been useful because of working in team. 
Everyone, even with little work, is part of a bigger vision.
3) it help to give a boost on a specific project. For example if developers of 
a particular software need some help, them could ask to the bugsquad to 
organize a specific bugday.

The bugsquas should be a unique group which focus a package at time. Creating 
sub-groups is dispersive: less people on more packages is more difficult to 
manage and is less efficient IMHO.

This could be discussed time to time with developers and comunicated to 
triagers BEFORE the bug day starts.
